12. Projects (1)
Policies
Project assignments will be organized in such a way you can solve problems incrementally.
Each project must be done in teams of two students.
There is an official Lab.
in class
once in a fortnight
TA explains a project assignment.
You may discuss on the problem with other students.

13. Projects (2) Evaluation Each team is evaluated by TA individually.
Your solution will be evaluated in the following ways:
Demonstration
Oral tests
Documentation
You should be able to answer any questions on basic system architecture, design decisions, and implementation details.
Project teams should clarify each member’s role and contribution to the solution.
TA will verify this during demonstration and oral tests.

14. Grading Grading Policy (subject to change) Mid term: 25%
Final exam: 30%
